    Question

    How do we represent information flow when we interact with different mediums, esp. text?

    Maps shape how we see and understand the world, which in turn shapes how we act within it.

    Linus’ talk on Representation

    how it shape our agency

    as technology

    (Viégas & Wattenberg, 2023)

    How can we manipulate new ideas and abstractions to create new notations?

    Thesis: Technologies for representation mediate how we see the world.

    Tenet:

    1. A representation must abstract
    2. An interface always gives or takes agency. Be intentional about which you choose
    3. Represent to communicate, not model.

    internals grokking

    In the realm of AI, how we grok these systems to understand its internal representations would help us understand how we think.

    Seeing clearly to exercise agency

    interface

    Instrumental use:

    • frictionless input, low-latency progress: payments.

    Engaged use:

    • see clearly from right perspectives. Express intent naturally and precisely.
    • Explore the possible spaces only through engaging with the information

    Why don't we do this more?

    It is a hyperreal produced from a radiating synthesis of combinatory models in a hyperspace without atmosphere.

    Simulacra and Simulation, Jean Baudrillard

    Writing
    why writing? Writing as crystallised thought, a way of expressing the labyrinth of interconnected, messy, and incoherent ideas in my mind. It is a form of knowledge distillation (Jacky on writing) Writing is an exploration, an excavation of self and the world in this painfully intricate dance.
